Space.

It's the same reason they sleep together. They can't afford to have all of these separate rooms for each family member, so they sleep together.

Also, like a restaurant, they turn over the area. Six to eight hours for sleeping, then it is turned over for breakfast, then turned over for use as a sitting room, then dinner, then back to a bedroom.

I still can't get over them all sleeping together. Morning wood and all. Then again they also bathe together naked. Ugh.

I had mice easily climbing my metal bed posts. I couldn't figure out why but either way I started killing the mice. Double edged sword apparently, as this let the bed bugs they were eating reproduce super fast.

when I was in college, the apartment I rented out had cochroaches and bed bugs, Then it was infested with ladybugs, then it was infested with stink bugs (an animal I've never heard of in my life til I moved into that apartment).

I actually took him for small claims court because I was promised a clean house with no rat/bug problems (something I even asked). Not a place infested with ladybugs, cochroaches, bed bugs, and stink bugs. Also had to throw a lot of stuff out cause I was very paranoid.

Bed bugs are the worst thing fucking ever.
That said they can show up in clean places, it only takes one person to fuck up. If someone throws a bed bug infested bed or lamp or etc.. out near your house, they can and will migrate to your house. They are not attracted to dirt (as far as I know), it is just that, you're probably the kind of person to bring in bed bugs if you're a dirty person.

>>13095235

If you live in an apartment building or a shared building of any kind, they will often migrate through wall plugs and such if their host is absent for some time. You can pick them up from train station floors and bus depots as they love to attach themselves to luggage and such.

No it's not. I only own a bed so I can save space by storing things under it.

Sleeping on the floor = straight waste of 2sq meter. When a room is ~12 sq meters (pretty much average, in Japan it's often <10 sq. meters), that's a lot.

And laying down futon/storing it back daily is a fucking chore.

>What about the space above your stuff which is occupied by the bed?

What does that even mean?

If I want to put shelves above my bed I can, just like you could do with a futon as well so it doesn't change fucking anything. The space ABOVE is literally the same whereas you use a futon or a bed. If your bed is next to a wall, you can still put shelves on that wall.

>Huh? What about the fact that you are extrenely limited in the size and quantity of stuff you can put under your bed?

If you don't have shit to store I feel sorry for you really. Yes in an empty room scenario, space isn't important. My whole point is, if you lack room because you have shit to store; a bed can provide you with that extra space.

It's a fucking basic principle. Just like a mezzanine gives extra space in a room. A bed has the same effect, to a lower extent. If you have a single bed and it's ~0.5m off the floor, you get 0.8 cubic meter of storage. That's 2+ times what's an average chest of 4 drawers would give you.

If you lived in a city where rent is expensive (Tokyo) and where the typical ceiling height is fucking low, you would have a notion of what a cubic meter is and how much you can store in that space.

You talk as though you lived in a room woth absolutely no free space whatsoever to lay down a futon. A futon hardly takes any room at all and when you're done you can put it over your shelf. Cubic meters are irrelevant, especially when you can just wrap up your bed and take up literally zero cubic meters during the day. You can put your books and shit in a cardboard box in the corner.

With a bed you are permanently constrained. Let's say you want to place a desk where that bed is. You can't. And if you have space to move it around then you have to move a heavy bed frame. It gets even more annoying if you want to move out. A futon you can do anything with.

He was actually pretty much correct on his assumptions. But personally, I would rather make a double square frame that I could attach with each other so I can make it as a bed frame with storage space in the bottom, and yet be easily removable if I need the space.

False: Japanese people sleep on the floor.
True: (Present) Japanese people live upon the BED all day.

If you visit a traditional Japanese farm house built before 1950s, you can understand it.
Kitchens and working rooms have no raised floor (called doma), and people cook and work there without taking shoes off. Only living&sleeping rooms (ima or tokonoma) have the tatami floor raised more than one foot over the ground. This is a kind of “the big fixed bed”. Such doma has been abolished in a modern house except the entrance zone (genkan), and they learned to live on the raised floor all day.

Okay, so I have a 'traditional' style futon that I lay out on the floor. I'm a little uncomfortable laying it down straight over the carpet though.

this is my future. it's worse now but at least i'll have a companion that loves me, so it's a step up. need one of those futons though, literally sleeping on the floor hurts my back.
